SHAC Mission
-
The School Health Advisory Council is a group of individuals representing segments of the Waxahachie community, appointed by the school district and Board of Trustees to serve at the district level, to provide advice to the district on coordinated school health programming and its impact on student health and learning.
The SHAC provides an efficient, effective structure for creating and implementing age-appropriate, sequential health education programs, and early intervention and prevention strategies that can easily be supported by local families and community stakeholders.
The mission of the Waxahachie ISD SHAC, in partnership with the staff, parents, and community, is to advise the Waxahachie ISD Board of Trustees on coordinated and age-appropriate school health programming that motivates and promotes healthy lifestyles for all.
If you are interested in serving as a parent/community member on the School Health Advisory Council, please email either Melissa Bousquet or Ginger Robinson. Your input as a parent and/or community member is extremely valuable and would be greatly appreciated. For further information or clarification of information, please contact the Director of Health & Wellness.
